Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake Recipe

Easy Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake Recipe!

This is a great option for a Christmas dessert! While this cake may look and taste impressive, it really is quite easy to make. So easy, in fact, that it involves a cake mix!

Of course, you don’t follow the cake mix instructions on the box. Instead, you get that cake mix all doctored up to be incredibly moist and full of chocolate flavor. We’re not going for low fat here, people! Although, you could try using plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream if you want to reduce the fat a bit. I haven’t tried it before though, so I can’t say if it turns out just as good or not.

Since I didn’t have peppermint extract on hand, I used my favorite peppermint essential oil. I love to have this stuff on hand and use it for a lot more than just flavor. You don’t want to sub the oil straight across for the extract though – the oil is a lot more concentrated. The measurements for each are included in the recipe below, so you should be able to use either pretty easily.

Add some dark chocolate chips in there, because more chocolate is better. The chocolate chips add a nice touch of dark chocolate to the flavor of the cake and glaze.

I’ve really been impressed with this bundt pan. I bought it back in 2013 and it is wonderful. The cake just falls right out of the pan. It is a beautiful thing. (Of course, I am sure to coat the pan well with whatever nonstick method is called for in each recipe as well.)

The peppermint ganache is also very simple. More of the dark chocolate chips, some butter, peppermint, and hot cream. Once the cake is baked and cooled, I like to brush some of the glaze on for nice coverage. Then I pour or spoon the rest of the glaze over the top of the cake and let it drip down. The ganache will be thick when it is cool and thinner when it is hot – you want it to be kind of in the middle when you put it on the cake so it will stay on the cake, but still drip down the sides.

Easy and beautiful! Anyone that likes the chocolate/peppermint combo will LOVE this cake!
